Can Spark Plugs Last 100,000 Miles?

There have been times when the technicians at Golden Ring Car & Truck Repair have found spark plugs seized in the cylinder heads of some of our Middle River area customers' vehicles with as little as 60,000 miles on them. The removal of these seized plugs can result in hours of labor by our technicians at Golden Ring Car & Truck Repair. There have been rare occasions when Golden Ring Car & Truck Repair has needed to remove cylinder heads just to get the spark plugs removed. Golden Ring Car & Truck Repair suggests that in order for our customers in the Middle River are to maintain peak performance for their vehicles, that their spark plugs should not be run longer than 30,000 miles. Golden Ring Car & Truck Repair suggest that consumers should take those 100,000 mile spark plug marketing claims of manufacturers with a grain of salt.
